Hasmonean and Herodian rulers

This should probably have a link to List of Hasmonean and Herodian rulers, but I'm not competent enough to do it. Zeichman (talk) 13:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jezebel

Jezebel should be added after Ahab. She's been identified as "Queen of Isreal" in other encyclopedias and in academic sources. She had political dominance and religious control throughout the Northern Kingdom of Israel such as establishing Baalism as the official religion and having Ahab suppress opponents via Elijah. Here are just a few sources that identify her as queen:

Quasi-rulers

Should Abimelech and Ish-bosheth be listed here? They did not control the whole of the country, but regardless they're clearly "rulers". -- LightSpectra (talk) 16:21, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ish-bosheth has a better claim to legitimacy than David. I am not certain of the extent of Abimelech's power. Dimadick (talk) 18:23, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ish-bosheth was the legitimate ruler of Israel. David was only declared king by the Tribe of Judah. When Ish-bosheth died, representatives from the other tribes then declared David king. Jerm (talk) 23:59, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
